Chapter 127: Quicksand Tomb

Suddenly, the people from the underground said that a large stone slab had been found, and it seemed that we were already where we were. My uncle and Song Bald looked up there, and began to call for people to prepare hemp ropes, brackets, and baskets, and it seemed that they were ready to take us down.

After the basket was ready, my uncle first let the Song bald man go down, and then my uncle also took us down, the passage below is still very narrow, fortunately, just now the villagers have opened the bottom for the convenience of an area the size of a room, otherwise we people really can't stand it. My uncle began to look down at the slate.

There is nothing special about this slate, but it looks like it should be very thick, and I guess it can be blown up at once with explosives. However, if you use explosives, it is estimated that the underground may also be destroyed. At this time, Song Bald began to build a large number of huge stone slabs.

"Elder Brother Yu, I don't think the structure here is an ordinary structure. This should be the scale of the tombs of the princes of the Qin and Han dynasties, but it doesn't look like a mausoleum. These slabs are huge, inlaid and tightly fitted, and I can see that they weigh more than a ton. If you use explosives, you'll be fine, but then you'll destroy the stuff underneath. Song Bald looked like an expert.

"Then how do you open this stone?" My uncle asked again.

"We usually prepare a cutter, and it's over in an hour, but now there's no guy on us." Song Bald didn't seem to have a choice.

"I'll try this." Qin Wu pulled out his long knife and stepped forward. Qin Wu wanted to cut the stone with a knife.

"Okay, then you can try it. Song Bald, get a few nails, fix the middle of the slate with long nails and hemp rope first, Qin Wu, you can do it again. "It's been a few minutes, Song Bald has already embedded the long nail on the stone slab, and tied the hemp rope, everything is ready, only Qin Wu's knife is missing.

Qin Wu observed the approximate location where the knife was about to be slashed. After getting ready, Qin Wu sank into the dantian, tied his feet to the horse, and raised the sword high. Between the lightning and flint, I only felt a few white lights flashing in front of me, and Qin Wu had already begun to put the long knife behind his back.

Suddenly, a square stone in the middle of the stone slab in front of us began to sink, and a few of us hurriedly grabbed the rope that had just been fixed and pulled the stone out. A few of us pulled the stone up, and a black hole opened up in front of us. What's down there in this hole? I wanted to stick my head in and take a look, but my uncle grabbed me again.

My uncle picked up the rock fragment that had just fallen and threw it towards the hole. When the stone went down, it did not make the crisp sound of hitting the ground, but seemed to make a muffled sound. What is the situation, Song Bald took a flashlight and shone it towards the entrance of the cave, and we all understood at this glance that there was sand here.

"This is the quicksand tomb." Song Bald blurted out these words. But what is this quicksand tomb?

"Song Bald, what is this?" Without waiting for me to ask, my uncle couldn't bear it anymore. Song Bald didn't dare not answer, and turned around to explain to us.

"This quicksand tomb is a kind of anti-robbery method in ancient times, and the method is very simple, but ordinary people do not have the financial resources to use this method. The construction of the quicksand tomb requires a lot of manpower, first digging the tomb deep underground, laying huge stone slabs, and then burying the entire tomb with rammed earth. ”

"There is nothing special about the whole mausoleum, what is special is that between the burial tombs, and then the top of the mausoleum and the handover of the rammed earth to build a mezzanine. This interlayer is made up of a layer of stone slabs, and between the two slabs is a thick layer of dry fine sand. "Fine sand, what's the use.

"Bald Song, what are these sands for?"

"This sand is a means of preventing theft, and this dry fine sand is like quicksand in the desert. Quicksand, trapped in no life. The designer sealed a thick layer of dry fine sand between the two stone slabs, and if an inexperienced person trespassed into it, he would immediately fall into the quicksand, and the more he struggled, the faster he would die. ”

"It would be nice to take the sand away." Song Bald shook his head.

"Young man, you're thinking wrong. This quicksand is thick, and the area may be hundreds of square meters, this one is about hundreds of tons of sand, and the entrance is so narrow, I am afraid it will take some time to hollow it out. ”

"And that's not all." My uncle started talking again.

"Those Dark Spirits here are not vegetarians, and when you go digging in the sand, they will come out and kill you all. It's impossible to dig out all this sand, I've experienced this quicksand, as long as you stand in it, you will be swallowed up immediately, and you want to dig it. Hehe. My uncle laughed at me again.

"I have a way, or my father came up with it, but I haven't tried it for so many years, I don't know if it can be used."

"We'll find out if we can try it." My uncle interrupted Song Bald's words.

"Okay, this method is easy to put it bluntly, but it takes some tools and time, let's go up first and ask the village chief." We were pulled up by the people above, and at this time, Li Chunlei had already returned with food, and I was hungry.

"It's time to eat, let's eat." None of us can care about that much, and we have been busy for a short day, so let's talk about it after eating. We came to a nearby wooded area and ate in the cool weather. After eating, Song Bald opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Brother village chief, we need something, I don't know if you have it in your village."

"You say, I'll see." The old village chief is also willing to help, everyone wants to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible.

"We need a high-powered pump, some pipes to transport water, and a place to provide a lot of water, that's all for now." The old village chief thought about it for a while, and seemed to have an answer.

"Chunlei, you go to Da Niu's house and bring the pump for his family's watering, and then concentrate the water pipes in the village, the water in the river to the east should be enough, do you see if it is enough." My uncle looked at Song Bald, Song Bald nodded, it seems that the conditions should be met, what should I do next.

After an hour, my uncle and the villagers installed the pumps and pipes and brought the water out of the river. Song Bald put the water pipe deep into the sand under the stone slab, what is this for? My uncle smiled slightly next to him, it seems that my uncle has already seen through everything.

"Song Bald, when the sand is mixed with water, it becomes very dense and not easy to loosen, so that even if people dig down, they will not fall into the sand. It's just that the amount of sand here is too large, so I hope the amount of water is enough. Song Bald nodded, it seemed that he was right. Song Bald arranged for someone to open the water valve, it was getting dark, and we should go back to the village and hide.

As we walked, Zhang Tianshi suddenly spoke again.

"I said uncle, tomorrow is the daytime digging, there is no light below, the dark wandering spirit can still come out to move, what are you going to do?"

"Well, the mountain people have their own tricks."
